NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

USB Library and HID Example
jason

XMOS supports a software library that enables you to build USB systems. You can design USB interfaces that follow standard USB classes (such as USB Audio, USB HID, or USB DFU), and USB interfaces that follow your own bespoke standards. The XUD library takes care of the low level packet handling, and requires you to just implement endpoint functionality.

The library documentation describes the implementation of a HID device as an example of a standard USB device class.

The current USB library and documentation is released as beta software. The XUD interface is likely to be improved and changes made to existing function calls.

Video: XMOS XC programming tutorial
jason

This months video is by Ed Clarke and Kris Jacobs where by they go over the highlights of XMOS and how to get started with the XC programming language.

XC is very similar to C, but with support for parallel programming should you need it. Anyone with experience in C can use XC very easily.

Kris takes us through a UART written in XC to show how fast and easy it is to develop with XMOS - as everything is written in software, you can reuse code in future modules, or existing code from other people.

Discuss this video here.

First USB Audio 2.0 Reference Design with Support for High Audio Channel Count
jason

"As USB Audio 2.0 continues to replace IEEE 1394 in professional, prosumer and consumer audio applications, this new reference design builds on the highly successful XMOS L1 USB Audio 2.0 reference design for low channel count (stereo) applications. XMOS USB Audio 2.0 solutions help developers of audio devices to quickly bring products to market which support the latest digital audio at the highest audio quality."

"The XMOS USB Audio Class 2.0 reference design goes on general release at the end of July. The source code of the reference design will be available free of charge under a royalty free license. All hardware schematics and design files are available for download from the XMOS website."
